Hello!
I installed fink as i want to install PostgreSQL following apple's guide (http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html)
My problem is, when i want to install "readline", i get the error "no package found for specification 'readline'!" (as you can see below).
[DorianMac:~] dorian% sudo fink install readline Password: Information about 37 packages read in 1 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification 'readline'!
[DorianMac:~] dorian% sudo apt-get -f install readline Password: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package readline
Does anyone knows why i get this error and why there are only 37 packages shown (on fink website there are listed 3450 packages).
<AKH> You have to update your package descriptions--Fink only starts with a few packages.
Should i update the package list somehow?\
<AKH> Yes
I went trough fink documentation as well trough the beginner mailing list archive, but i couldn't find anything helpful.
<AKH> Really? Did you look at http://fink.sourceforge.net/users-guide/upgrade.php or http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php ? Both mention commands to do updates
I am kind of newbie in unix, and i never used fink before.
Please help!
TIA Dorian
